I have tried it with libgdbm and it seems to work. dpkg-shlibdeps gives an
error message about one ldd output line that it cannot understand (the
first output line of ldd is self-referential....)
but otherwise it works. 

Could I dare you to try to package glibc with debmake? I will fix things
that need improvements etc etc. I think it will be much easier for you to
maintain it.

Examples:

waterf:/usr/lib$ ldd libV.so
        ./libV.so => ./libV.so
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.4.13
        libg++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libg++.so.27.2.1
        libstdc++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.27.2.1
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5.0.6
waterf:/usr/lib$ 

waterf:/usr/lib$ ldd libgdbm.so
        ./libgdbm.so => ./libgdbm.so
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.4.13

waterf:/usr/lib$ ldd libdb.so
        ./libdb.so => ./libdb.so
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.4.13

waterf:/usr/lib$ ldd libslang.so
        ./libslang.so => ./libslang.so
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.4.13
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5.0.6
